Holiday Inn Express
Holiday Inn Express is a hotel in central Kuala Lumpur, close to the Golden Triangle district. It has several hundred rooms, each fitted with free Wi-Fi, quality bedding with a choice of pillow firmness, and a bathroom shower with a three-part massage setting.
The hotel opened in 2016 as part of the IHG hotel group, which operates multiple brands across the world. Its opening came during a period of rapid growth in Kuala Lumpur's hospitality sector, when many new properties were added to the city center.
The hotel sits in Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle, where shopping malls, office towers, and street food stalls stand side by side. Walking around the area gives a clear sense of how locals and visitors share the same streets throughout the day.
The hotel offers free breakfast included with each stay, along with laundry facilities and internet terminals inside the building. A fitness room is open at any hour, which is handy for guests arriving late or with irregular schedules.
The shower in each room uses a three-part massage head, a feature more often found in higher-end hotels than in this price category. Guests can also choose between different pillow types, which is an unusual level of attention for a mid-range stay.
